There is a big difference between S2a and the Hasselblad. Both tools will do the job(making cool images). That's why I advised you if the price is a factor, just go with bronica. I scan on Frontier SP-3000 and shooting mainly landscapes. The lenses are the best in the class but I personally don't see difference at the resolutions I scan. Hasselblad repair will most likely cost you the price of a SQ body itself. You can jam the hasselbad if you don't know what you are doing. So if you like longer than 150mm, you will probably need to jump to 501 model :) backs, lesnes(I doubt you will shoot with only 80mm). 500c and 500CM models have small mirror that don't cover 250mm lenses, meaning it will vignette like crazy(in viewfinder only). Acute mate screen for Hasselblad will host you more than the SQ body(around 300 euro).

You will probably need to upgrade the focusing screen as most of them come with the basic one. And it gets expensive after you get your camera. You must realize that Hasseblad is really expensive. Do I need all of them to make nice squre photos? No! They are nice tools and I'm having fun using them. I use all my 6圆 cameras not because I need to but because I like them. Yesterday I went on a mountain roaming for 3-4 hours shooting Rollei Infrared and Portra 400 with the SQ-AI. Hunted for a while and got myself SQ-AI in really good condition with box and so on. Got some advice to pickup the latest production model(SQ-AI and SQ-B are the latest). Ofc I returned the camera and then decided to go for a round 3. It weights the most(or at least I think it is). You can't tell by looking at the pictures, it's something you feel it when you got it. The camera was the biggest 6圆 I have seen in my life.
Unfortunately the shutter curtain jammed after the 3rd roll. You can consider TLR if you don't use gradient filters and you will shoot with only standard lens.Īt one point I decided to give it a shot one more time with the bronica but this time while looking for S2 I found a mint Bronica EC. Also got Yashica mat 124 that I'm really happy with.
After it failed I bought 500CM with 80mm CF and 250mm and shot it for around 2 years.
